Hello

I've been watching this community for about three weeks or so
I recently became interested in french revolutionaries (particularly Robespierre >_<)
but since I don't live in the states .. I can't get useful books on french revolution
It's so sad......I have to wait for like six weeks for my books ( i had to make special order T T)

Unfortunately, I don't have anything to show you except badly drawn picture

I never knew Robespierre was so humane before doing some research (you know what textbooks say)
although my friend says "[i] only like Robespierre because he's as evil as [I am]" -_-;;; 

ps. I tried photobucket hopefully it shows. hopefully........

Hi! If you haven't found them already, there are some speeches/books online. This is a link (I hope it comes out OK in this post) to a site with extracts from several speeches by Robespierre and other revolutionaries and the philosophers who influenced them, in English translations, which you may find useful. http://www.marxists.org/reference/index.htm . I think it has the whole of Rousseau's 'Social Contact' up there! Click on the names and it will bring up a menu with a list of works. There are also some books online with Google books by 19th century historians - though a lot of them are quite hostile to the revolution - and parts of other books - if I can find the links again I'll post them up here.
